People Now Curse Me In Mosque – Aisha Yesufu
Activist Aisha Yesufu, says she has been informed that people now curse her at mosques. Yesufu however asked those cursing her why they have not done so when she was protesting against the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Yesufu, who is a co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Group, was one of the driving forces of the #EndSARS movement with the iconic photo of her in a flowing hijab with her raised clenched fist going viral on social media. However, following her role in the protests, several northern elements, including an actor threatened to harm her. Responding, Yesufu tweeted, “I am not known in the North but a northern actor and actress are taking time out to call for an attack on me. Until Nigerians put sentiments aside and loudly demand #SecureNorth #EndInsecurity, Buhari wouldn’t, but i hear they said protest is not allowed in Islam. It seems the killings and an incompetent president and commander in chief doing nothing is allowed. What do i know.”
